Content

This page should have more inormation about Mr. Yasgur. The bulk of this page makes reference to the Woodstock Festival, but should include more about Mr. Yasgur. On another note, the statements Mr. Yasgur made at the festival were made in 1969, therefore his statements may have been accurate, not to mention they were, for the most part, improvised.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Hd85ironhead (talk • contribs) 05:05, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I just got ahold of the Elliot Tiber book Taking Woodstock, which may have more on Max. He was a prominent dairy farmer and had his own brand of dairy products sold locally. --JohnnyB256 (talk) 00:44, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

When did he die?

This article mentioned he died in 1971 and 1973. Which is it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.160.161.160 (talk) 12:02, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sam Yasgur

I have not seen any references that support the assertion that Sam Yasgur helped convince his father to rent the land to the Woodstock Festival. Can anyone add a reference, or should the information be deleted as dubious? -- Ssilvers (talk) 16:42, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Quotations need sourceing

Can the quotations section include sources? Thank you, --Malerooster (talk) 15:07, 26 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Max's full name

This article gives his full name as "Max B. Yasgur", omitting what "B" stands for. Maybe it's because in his grave, the name is ommited too. However, his hebrew name in the grave is "Mordechai Binyamin" (https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/8452/max-yasgur#view-photo=142430679), wich is an indicator that the "B" stands for "Benjamin" (it's a common practice among american jews to have a jewish second name matching the hebrew name). 12:43, 19 August 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 177.223.193.202 (talk)

Address on photo says Cocheton?

Why does the photo say Cocheton when Yasgur says Bethel? - AW (talk) 14:12, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I figured it out and updated it AW (talk) 15:05, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
